What makes Maria’s journey even more remarkable is her life off the court. She’s not just competing against top-tier athletes, but also balancing motherhood—her two children often travel with her.

Maria’s victory isn’t just about winning a tennis match. It’s about rewriting what athletic longevity and personal balance can look like in professional sport. She reminds us that age is not a barrier when passion fuels the journey. She said it best herself after the win: “You always have to keep going. You never can stop. I love to play tennis, I love this sport, and we live for these special moments.”
This upcoming final is more than just a match—it’s a celebration of two players from very different chapters in their careers meeting on one of tennis’ most historic stages. Whether Maria takes home the trophy or not, she’s already won something deeper: the respect and admiration of tennis fans around the world. What a moment. What a story.
